I cannot BELIEVE I have this stupid haircut.

OMG. I seriously cannot stop laughing at this poor dog. I think I’ve been laughing for a solid five minutes. Look at that haircut. He must be absolutely furious. LOOK at the fro with the trapezoid that is cut out to allow his beady eyes some room! OMG, ROTFL. And the poor other dog in the background is getting his hair cut the SAME WAY will have the SAME FATE. Oh, man, this is too much. I haven’t laughed this hard since, well, the last post.

Hot damn.

Thanks very very much, Kerry L. and the Chicago Tribune photographer Kuni Takahashi.

for gosh sake, people. the dog only looks angry because of the funny downswoop the “hairstylist” gave him above his eyes. . .I seriously doubt he’s anything but completely befuddled about what’s going on.

they are not getting a haircut in the shot, its more like styling before a dog show, this is how bichon frise should look like in order to be eligible for such shows. i think the fur is very nicely done and fluffed up!

ya, i’m gonna have to agree with Mike. people who like dogs like this are really at one end of the spectrum -> those who have tamagotchi’s as their best friend and others who borderline insane elderly.

That’s quite a ‘fro. It’s a little poofy for me, but doesn’t the body fur (easier to see on the dog in the background) look like a cloud? Or cotton candy? I bet it’s nice and springy. Makes me want to squeeze him.

A thinker, you obviously do not live up to your namesake, as it is quite evident that the cut is what makes the dog appear angry. Now, some of the slower people would not immediately understand this, but give the smarter people a break! If you think you’re so high and mighty because you’ve pointed this out, then good, get a gold star and go buy a pair of pliers to help with dislodging that rod from your rectum.

Kittypants, note the conduit going down to the platform, and the position of the man in the background. That is no mirror.

Yes, I’m grumpy.😡 Insomnia will do that to you. I probably look as angry as that dog. Just pay no heed to me and get on with the CO love.🙂

Woah what’s with the bichon hatin’? I know it’s “just a dog” but when you selectively despise a particular part of a species… well, that’s discrimination!
Anyway, I have an adorable, fluffy, well groomed Bichon. We adopted him from a rescue organization and he is the epitome of cute.

Christine: I’m sitting here eating my lunch, checking up on the CO comments from the morning. I start to read yours, like any other, and then you go and cap it off with “arse”! I just about spit out my lunch – too funny!

Mike–please go away; Martha–I could not agree with you more. This site is clearly for animal lovers, and if a photo doesn’t strike you as particularly cute, keep it to yourself and wait for the next one. This is not a forum for hatin’.
Bring back the REAL Mike with his clever witticisms!

cute, but it lookes like someone glued cotton balls to his head. kinda like those projects in kindergarden where use of paste always went awrie. the groomer is just trying to get the visable elmers out of the puppy’s hair.

I love trad bichon grooming, its so…awesome! I always love when my dog comes home from the groomer with what i call “angry eyes,” which is when they cut it so they look mad like that. i find it hilarious! and the dog doesnt give a crap, as long as its treated right it wont care. however if its cut super short or people constantly react to it a certain way it’ll know somethings up.

thank you so much for posting a bichon photo!! i have always had bichons, and they have the best personalities, are the best of friends.

I agree no hatin’ use HUMOR! THAT is what its all about and life is entirely too short not to laugh. I can’t help but giggle at a poor puppy with helmet hair. Hell I would giggle at a human with helmet hair. On a dog… lets be honest people its just funny, proper or not. I can’t help but giggle at all the dogs styled in this manner it looks like they are wearing little fur suits.

BTW… one question I must ask and pardon my ignorance for I ususally just review whether something is cute not what it is… (don’t care as long as its cute) but where the hell are this poor little guy’s ears?

Arse arse arse – yes, I DO love that word and yet rarely remember to use it. And I agree, it certainly was apt in the circumstance. However, I must apologize – I called you Christine, not Christina! As one who hates having her own name mangled, I should be shot – or at least forced to read more nottherightmike comments.

And as for Bob Ross – man, that guy’s voice was mesmerizing. As a child, I was fascinated by him.

ok: you guys do a service by posting cute feel good pictures, but you blow it by being ignorant and rotten about things you don’t agree with. Bison-frises and poodles are very nice dogs, if you have ever known one, and they don’t give a damn really about how their hair is cut. Dogs don’t get stupid and judgemental about appearances, which is one of the ways they are better than people.

Really? I met very happy poodles, with their flufly natural hair and some very mean poodles with their horrid shaved hair. Maybe they reflect their owners attitude. I just think is cruel, but that just me.

I still think that dog rules my buns. Anger like that cannot be thwarted by any conventional means, no! Its like an angry old man who’s seemingly lived for hundreds of years, when you hear him recall times when young people respected their elders, and ‘horseless carriages’ weren’t full of rude people.

On another note: This is about the fourth time I have seen this “you have to” stuff so I’m just tossing my quarter in the pond. A suggestion for everyone “insisting” that we must all be of the same mind about a DOG or anything else when it comes to an opinion… umm reality check people, if everyone liked the same damn animal there would be no homes for the others. I personally love rabbits and cats as well as any small rodent that is so damn cute you want to squueze it like a roll of Charmin. Other people like dogs and lizards.. thats called CHOICE, but really folks isn’t it more offensive to “tell” everyone they “must think” a certain way. Last I checked the majority of us have brains and are able to come to our own conclusions about what we like… Mina you don’t like certain dogs.. go you, adopt a cat… k8ir8 you do… fabulous there will be one less homeless animal without an owner to love it. Just do the rest of us a favor and give up calling people “ignorant and rotten,” its insulting a best and reflective of one’s own insecurities and ignorance at worst. Unless you pay my bills, are my mother or are married to me… I just don’t sit well with anyone telling me what I have to do. Besides its all in FUN!!! So spread some love, get over the fact others don’t think like you and embrace the fact that there will never be a shortage of what you love because someone else thinks its crap… WOOHOO.. thank you cat haters of the world I have two wonderful furballs for me to love because of it.

It really saddens me to see CO’s comments section turn into another bath in Haterade. I love this site and I won’t ever stop coming to it – I have yet to see a pic on here that wasn’t rock-my-socks cute – but I think, after this ridiculousness over this adowubble fluffy Biche and his shiny black button eyes, I won’t be checking the comments section on anything. That makes me really sad! Thanks to the keepers of the site – keep the cuteness flowing, and keep rocking the lizards and snakes, please!

Im sorry. Why do we all have to like the same stuff. I dont care if Bichon’s and Poodles have big poofy hair or not. I just think theyre ugly little dogs. There are PLENTY of dog breeds that I love….Beagels for one!!😀 Cool your jets people. GOSH! :p

Mike and Marta and whoever else posted about the Bichon Frise…Unbelievable. I have a Bichon Frise, and she has been the light of my life for nearly 13 years. Now, we don’t do the “foo foo” cut on her, we keep the puppy cut on her. This is a dog show cut, set to breed standards. Actually, in 2001 at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, a Bichon won, named JR, and was well deserving of the title Best In Show. I don’t always agree with the fluff cut, but I will defend Bichon’s personalities to the end. To the person who said their roommate had a Bichon and it had a terrible disposition, I am sorry, but that is the owner’s fault. There are no bad dogs, just bad owners. I would recommend Bichon’s to anyone, and have done so in the past. These dogs are hugely popular, and I love mine to death.

honestly! with the hating! i have a bichon too, and to be honest, unless you show your dog you dont get them done up like this. he’s not angry. he’s probably ecstatic with all the attention and petting. and i got my bichon because he’s loving and sweet. not snooty, not stuck up, and my other dog? is a 75 pound german shorthaired pointer. any asshole who says anthing shitty about me because my dog is a bichon needs to slide back into the ooze they crawled out of.

Bichons do have to look like that for shows, since dog shows are all about the dogs exemplifying what’s been written as the ideal for their breed. I think the bichons actually have a pretty good deal if you’ve seen some of the other cuts the other breeds have….ugh!

But as my grandmother told me, as she’s raised bichons for years, is that since they don’t shed you’ve got to cut them every so often no matter what.

Doesn’t anybody watch the Westminster Dog Show every Feb? According to the AKC, this is the way Bichons are supposed to look. I was privileged to own one when we were stationed in the UK and Holly was a very precious loving pet.

Ugh, some of those commenters above really irked me. Are they here just to make trouble? I thought the point of this blog was to post pictures that make people feel good. Not for some know-it-alls who think that everyone should accept their definition of the word ‘cute’. Get off this blog and go and rant in your own little hellholes.😡

i think that you don’t know anything about dog shows.this dogs are learn on bathing, drying, on haircuts from their earliest age!some of them love to be on that table and they know how to “wear” that hair cut and they enjoy it!i am dog groomer so i know very much about it!this guy who laugh for 5 minutes-i bet that hi even don’t have a dog,he never been at groomer with him,and not to talk about dog shows.haircut of that dog on picture is beautiful.very little groomers can do it pretty like this.i would be proud if i could do that.don’t you see how that dog is posing for camera,he knows he’s beautiful!do you know what breed that dog is?do you know how it look when he doesn’t have hair cut?
